A Game of Chase

Matthew loves it when Paul or myself chase him around the house. He loves it more than being caught. It used to be the other way around- he would giggle whenever we caught him and wouldn't crawl very far until he would stop to be caught again. Now, however, he loves the chase. He loves when we chase after him and will giggle as he is crawling away, looking back periodically to make sure we are still chasing him. (Note: we are not always playing with him when we chase him, but he doesn't know that, or care).

Matthew has now involved Andrew in the game. I don't know if Andrew is aware that Matthew is playing chase with him, but whenever Andrew is on the move, Matthew crawls in front of him, laughing, and will stop periodically to look back to make sure Andrew is still chasing him. Sometimes I think Andrew is in on the game, and sometimes not, but it is so much fun to watch them play chase and to envision how much fun they will have growing up together- constant playmates, best friends.
